RAIN! RAIN! WE NEED MUCH RAIN.

Unless stain comes and comes quickly, the crops of this and those of manly other states of the central and middle west will be practically a total failure, according to a crop report issued from Washington. Weeks of holt weather with no rain have burned the crops Ito a crisp and relief must come quickly. The earth is parched And vegetation presents a sorry appearance. Farmers are discouraged and their spare moments find them searching the skies for indications of rain. The weatherman promises thundershowers with cooler weather for Tuesday, which is encouraging.
